Show Off Your Minecraft Crib

shit son, losing 20k of each ingot is pretty devastating. i think i would get pretty depressed in that situation. on my own front, i just installed another still and engine, and it started draining my reserves faster than it was producing, so the current setup only supports 1 still self sufficiently. i'd have to add another fermenter as well for the system to keep up, with all the new piping and even more engines and possibly more farms and combines, it just doesn't look like it's gonna pan out, to be honest. i don't believe 1 still is going to be enough to keep a boiler running, and i'm quickly coming to the conclusion that i'm just gonna have to stick to water mill towers if i want self sufficient renewable energy. :/ this biomass/biofuel system is proving to be way too complex and unreliable.

also, i have 1 t5 blaze shard, and could pretty easily make another one. can boilers really run on blaze rods/powder? that sure would simplify things.

I currently have a full quantum suit but only 5 stacks of iron.

I'm yet to try liquid fuel but as far as Im aware the biofuel does last a seriously long time.
I know there is a way to do a peat bog setup and make it profitable but forestry is one of the last few mods I've not touched properly.

Yeah a boiler can run off blaze rods, though make sure you have a full upgraded barrel full of them for the heat up, even at max temp it'll chew through 1-2 a second.

Current setup:

Spoiler

Two separate blaze traps feed into a router which puts it into an ender chest or if that's full into a barrel as overflow.
If you put a a chest next to the boiler with some fuel in the boiler will pull it out, so having the ender chest next to it keeps it fully stocked.

that's a slick setup you have there. very clean. i might gives these blaze's a shot then. unfortunately yogcraft doesn't have barrels though. :/ it's one of the many things i wish it wasn't lacking, and i have no control over the server's modpack either, or i'd use ultimate or direwolf.

Jeez... What I've done pales pretty badly in comparison. I've just got an oak-based and greatwood/mossy wall reinforced house... thing with a sorting system and automated refinery inside. Oh, and an arseload of exotic trees and an infinate mooshroom soup pouch.

Spoiler: Spoiler'd for size

Yeah, Im big on solar energy.

So, what I'd like to see is the screenshots of the tunnels/caverns/holes you guys have dug to get the resources to build all of this.

Or is it all creative mode/unlimied resources?

Spoiler

Wow, that's..... Wow!...

So, are you guys modded up to use the different engines you're talking about (Steam engines, etc) or is this all stuff in game?
I'm fiddling with MC causally, but I find what you guys are discussing pretty fascinating if it's possible in game.

(edit)
Ah, nevermind. I've read the newer posts that mentions mods.
Still, pretty neat!

I'm pumping a high pressure steam boiler full of blaze rods from my blaze farm, which then produces steam which goes to my industrial steam engines which produce the power from the steam. This power is then put into my network which I send to my quarries which mine out up to 64x64 blocks all the way down to bedrock. All the items it digs up are sent to the processing system which grinds the ores and smelts everything and then pumps it into sorted storage.

Vanilla minecraft is fun, but mods are just great

My systems aren't even complex compared to some stuff I've seen.
If you're ever looking to start with them look up Direwolf20 on youtube, his let's play series' are the super informative.

I've just checked and you don't have applied energistics either I can't imagine having a sorting system without barrels or AE. It doesn't even have xycraft! Lordy..

For processing are you using buildcraft or industrialcraft?

I doubt this is in reference to my build since it didn't take much./isn't very impressive. But, it was probably around 400-500 blocks or so. I completely deforested an area around the lake about 50 blocks in on 2 sides, and quarried out underneath the house which became my underground (wheat) farm.

[small] Still workin' on expanding my farm, but that's enough for now. [br]And, of course, the ladder in the 1[sup]st[/sup] and 2[sup]nd[/sup] pictures goes down to my mine shaft which I've kind of been neglecting.[/small]

I made a giant... well, you'll see

And no, it's not anything perverted

It's beautiful

Is the 'shell' made of yellow wool?

i've got a pretty stable ic2 setup for all my processing. this forestry/biofuel/steam boiler/mj production is all just experimentation/learning at this point. i'm not really risking anything or counting on anything to work properly, though it's nice when it does. i just figure i'll find some use for it down the line sooner or later. and yeah, i do miss my xycraft. and gregtech. and mystcraft. honestly yogcraft is so barebones, i'm not sure why anyone would use it and it boggles my mind why the server host chose to use it. o.o;;

I get bored of my "cribs" and blow them up. I get bored easily

 

[Bad Jim]

I make mountains. Like this:

 

[Eggsnham]

Unfortunately, the most impressive thing I've ever build in MC was lost when the computer I built it all on took a shit and died, so I have no screenshots.

But it was basically a huge fortress built into the side of a mountain with a floating sky-fortress up above it. I had plans to make a huge obsidian minefield around the land at the base of my mountain fortress and to implement some various redstone functions around the living spaces to make things easier.

I miss that world :[

I got bored and decided to make an incredibly scaled down, sort of replica of the Parthenon in Athens.

No statue of Athena here, sorry.

 

[Tyelcapilu]

My first actual project, way back in old minecraft, was a recreation of the barrow downs from MM7. The back hallway was huge, and now I'm motivated to recreate castle Alamos.

This was the general layout.

I have no idea what the texture pack was. The pic is from 2010.

I've made a lot since then but have never really taken screenshots or anything of that sort.

I have been working on my home (on & off) since Minecraft first got the Nether. I dislike the idea of starting from scratch every time the server map resets, so instead just kept building new homes on top of the old one. The server owner has been so kind as to let me move my home from map-to-map and/or move any resources I get from one of our maps to the other. According the the server data, I have been playing over a month of real time, this is what came of my singular efforts.

I can no longer build on top of it as the roof has literally hit the ceiling of the world, so now my attention will be focused to expanding it outward and making buildings around it.

I will just choose some random images of the inside to show. I simply can't show it all right here.

Spoiler

This was made in survival, but I do admit to using every kind of farm imaginable (even iron). The last time it was copy/pasted to a new map, it was placed on a mushroom island, just so visitors don't blow craters in the walls. It's long crossed the point that it needs to be preserved just so it can be a place for everyone on the server to see and visit.

Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous. What texture pack is that?
